The weather was absolutely gorgeous on Sunday. It's been a long wait for this kind of weather around here. I tried to sleep in as I often do but as usual I was up before 7:00. The boys are always up early. We had french toast for breakfast then just lounged around until it was closer to noon. We had invited our families over for a grill out lunch for Mother's Day. Karsten's mom Shirley came with her good friend Gwen. They were planning on at concert at the Elkader Opera House that afternoon so it worked out great for them to come for lunch before. My dad and mom came along with my brother Mike. We didn't know if Dad would make it since he's been working hard planting corn but he took a break long enough for some lunch. Karsten did all of the work, he cut up the watermelon and pineapple, he made the burgers and hot dogs and he set everything up for us. It was delicious!
Dad decided to try on Tristan's sunglasses. Just a little small....
Shirley opening her Mother's Day present.
My 2 favorite boys in the whole world!!
At the advice of someone I know who lost their mom last year, "because we could" we took a mother daughter picture. I love this lady dearly, she's done so much for me! (Notice my beautiful corsage that Shirley had secretly dropped off the day before, it was very pretty!)
After everybody went home the boys went down for a late much needed nap. I ended up falling asleep on the couch for a short time too. After supper we went to the park and played a little more. It was pretty much the best Mother's Day!!
